Maybe you missed it, but there's been a slew of new productivity apps lately: Orchestra, Clear, Asana, and so many others. We haven't had this much productivity since David Allen coined GTD. So why the obsession with productivity apps?

Email Overload - People are inundated with email. Most productivity apps today are really touting email connectivity, with the promise to help reduce the burden of growing email. Most are offering features around email forwarding. We're going to be seeing more of these email aggregators/hubs in the coming years, especially for niche markets. I could really see something like this for developers.

Distractions - Work is piling up because there are too many distractions in our day to day. Between my Facebook alerts and Twitter stream, I am pretty flooded. Then add in the rss reader shoving thousands of headlines a day at me, throw in some random links here and there and 4 hours could be gone.

Work Yields Work - All these tools we've got around us aren't just jockeying for our eyeballs though, some are actually helping us get more work done. But work is funny, it just yields more work. And the faster, more effective we are, the more work we find ourselves doing.

Things Are Getting Too Technical - Things are getting very technical these days. We've been sinking in acronym soup for years now, and we are beginning to add a healthy dose of hardware with the rise of smartphones and tablet devices. In some ways the technical growth on these things are outpacing the learning curve, leaving many in the dust. We're so busy playing catch up with the latest and greatest technology that we barely have time to focus on the things we'd rather be doing.

Keeping Up With The Jones' - When we aren't keeping up with the fastest processor or biggest display, we're keeping up with the latest design trends and entrpreneur cum celebrities. We've got to make sure our website has the hottest design, our clothes are the tightest and our gadgets are the latest. Maybe it's time to throw it all away and head back to the woods?

We are more connected than ever, which is awesome, but we should also remember that these pleasurable distractions are here to serve us, not the other way around. As artisans, creators and thinkers, it's our job to make the tools work for us.

Dev/Code/Hack is a technology and business blog by me, Par Trivedi. I'm a software engineer and I've been writing code and managing teams for over a decade. This blog serves as a way to share thoughts and ideas about the tech/startup community, and also to educate newcomers to software development.

For over 2 months I have felt emotionally disconnected with my significant other. I have had to endure the feelings of being lonely, sad and unappreciated which has led to a secondary feeling of anger and resentment for my partner. Without a doubt, I knew she was cheating on me. So, I searched online and I found the glowing and enthusiastic praise of this penetration tester THE_PRIEST@TUTANOTA.COM. I engaged him for his services and under 18 hours he gave a remote access to my ex-wife’s telegram, emails, Instagram and WhatsApp with great display of professionalism. I am glad I followed my instinct. That’s my review.

“BLOGS DO HAVOC” - I was slandered because I am a SUCCESSFUL YOUNG PLASTIC SURGEON with good SOCIAL MEDIA presence. Some blogs put it out that I had ruined client’s looks, and a POLITICAL COCOTTE. Obviously, some HATING on my ACHIEVEMENTS and SKILLS, framing me with the failures of others. Finally, the truth was out but “internet is for life”. The defamation, allegations made me an emotional wreck, and affected my job, not until I found help to redeem my reputation. I was lucky to have contacted AFONKA PETROV, AFONKAPETROV@TUTANOTA.COM with great reviews. I reached out, gave him the blogs LINKS. After about 2 days, there was nothing of such against me. We tracked, then got the main source arrested. For the records, “ALL MY SURGERIES HAVE BEEN 100% SUCCESS”. He definitely would solve your issue.
PS: Cloned my identity here to protect me from another attack.

Let me tell you about my experience. I was ASSAULTED BY TWO LECTURERS which made me fail courses. I could not risk doing what they asked because that is “RAPE”. IS IT AN OFFENSE TO HAVE A LOVELY SKIN AND CURVES? But who am I to start a movement against such evil men. I summoned courage to find help and was referred to AFONKA PETROV. He gave me total confidence again by running a safe and untraceable penetration after giving him the 'U R L' and login details which took some days (roughly 5days) in cracking the database. TBH, I was so skeptical + scared during the process but here it is, I graduated passing every course. Please, Let no lecturers frustrate your life.

PLEASE READ!!!! Hello Guys,This is a Life Time transformation !!!Am so happy I got mine from Jamie. My blank ATM card can withdraw $4,000 daily. I got it from Her last week and now I have $23,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it, it is not traceable and now i have money for business and enough money for me and my family to live on .I am really happy i met Jamie because i met two people before her and they took my money not knowing that they were scams. But am happy now. Jamie sent the card through DHL and i got it in two days. Get your own card from her now she is not like other scammer pretending to have the ATM card,She is giving it out for free to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught. I’m grateful to Jamie because she changed my story all of a sudden . The card works in all countries except Philippines, Czech Republic and Slovenia, Jamie’s email address is Jamiehacking99(AT)gmailcom

Let me tell you a brief story. People call me a public figure and a role model so I was easy target to the malicious haters out there. A blog put it out there that during the course of my marriage with my exWife I raped her twice. The blog also mentioned my exWife was interviewed and confirmations were gotten from her. Apparently some evil individuals cooked this up to soil my integrity and to tarnish my reputation. My exWife called me to say she wasn't interviewed about our marriage and to say the least that I never raped her. So, it was confirmed the story was FALSE. All attempts to get those behind the blog where this story originated from failed after sourcing professionals to help for 12 days. They couldn't take the blog down or apprehend these evil doers. I was referred to KORR and after a thorough check I found a lot more people recommending him for jobs brilliantly executed. Someone even called him a HACKGOD. I contacted him, gave him the url of the blog. 14 hours after, the website didn't exist anymore and he sent in the precise target location of the coder running the website. Need not say more, the rest is history. He makes other professional hackers out there look like NEWBIES. Contact: MAELSTROM1212@GMAIL.COM
